Our model of elementary particles describes an enormous number of experimental results, including the Higgs boson candidate that was recently discovered at the LHC. However the Standard Model falls short of explaining other phenomena such as dark matter, the disappearance of anti-matter from the universe, and the small size of the radiative corrections to the Higgs mass. My research uses data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to seek the new phenomena and particles that may explain these mysteries. Inspired by the work of Cornell’s theory group, I am currently searching for supersymmetry (SUSY) signatures that do not assume “R-parity”, opening new territory relative to many earlier SUSY searches at the LHC – including mine – which assumed that R-parity is conserved. New students are welcome.
